Motherboards are installed in a case using spacers, or standoffs, to prevent direct contact with the metal case which can cause short-circuits. The spacers create a gap that allows for proper airflow and heat dissipation, which is essential for maintaining optimal operating temperatures. Additionally, they ensure that the motherboard is securely mounted, reducing the risk of damage from vibrations or movement.

Motherboards are installed using riser screws to secure them firmly to the chassis while maintaining a safe distance from the case.

Additionally, riser screws allow for proper airflow and cooling around the components by elevating the motherboard slightly above the surface. This installation method also facilitates easier access to ports and connectors.
